Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces and set aside.
In the same skillet, remove excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the broth.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
About 10 minutes before serving, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the chicken in the crockpot and allow it to warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve the chicken with its creamy sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
